Back to School - Back to the
HALO 2003 Fall Season

The 2003 Fall Season is the fourth official iGames HALO Season, and it just keeps getting better and better. Bring three friends to compete in the intense 4 v 4 action. We have taken the best of the past 3 seasons, conferenced at great length with HALO players, and created a season full of action for all HALO enthusiasts.

The purpose of these tournaments is to bring together teams of individuals who enjoy playing in a fun, social, and cheat-free atmosphere. It is also a way to test your team against other local teams as well as against other teams throughout the iGames ranking system.

Divisional Tournaments
Players can participate in two divisional tournaments leading up to a regional tournament. Divisionals will be held Oct 4th and Nov 2nd.

Regional Tournaments
These tournaments will be hosted by chosen iGames' regional centers. There will be up to 16 centers in North America sponsoring regional tournaments. Teams will be seeded according to their rankings. The winning team will earn the right to be called the best in their region.

North American Championships
This event will be open by invitation only. Participate in Divisional and Regional events to earn a chance to show that you are one of the very best.
